Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Obviously I already removed all media, banned all the users and prevented account creation. I have ip addresses and metadata of the users

If you deleted the content the authorities have no evidence a crime was committed other than one witness saying "yes, totes CSAM". They're not going to be able to pursue the uploaders on that alone, and reporting it will only draw attention to yourself. If it was me I'd shut down or lock down the server and move on.

Good point but I have to add technical details. The content I deleted was replicated media from federated rooms. Authorities could still join the group and get all the original information from the original server
